abstract
Anchorage loss is one of the prime concern in the field of orthodontics. Whenever an anchorage is derived from the posterior segment for retraction, almost all such cases showed unwanted movement of posterior segment. Many methods like extraoral anchorage, increasing number of anchor units were tried, but all these methods had its own demerits and patients compliances. The introduction of miniscrews followed by bonescrews in orthodontics has been used successfully to provide skeletal anchorage for various tooth movements.
